Deptford Mission - Disabled People's Contact

The DPC is run at Deptford Methodist Mission, and comprises a Day Centre for elderly, disabled people and an evening club for adults with learning disabilities.

The objective of the charity is to offer friendship, support and a sense of community to those who would otherwise be isolated by their personal circumstances. We aim to do this through meeting their practical needs, but also by offering a place of welcome, concern and support to all who come along, be they members or volunteers!

We have a range of volunteering opportunities available in our charity shop, day centre, minibus escort and driver. Please go to https://do-it.org/organisations/deptford-methodist-mission-disabled-peoples-contact

Referral Details

We accept self-referrals, as well as referrals from Social Services and other community organisations such as Community Connections, Stroke Association, Lewisham Mindcare. We support the boroughs of Lewisham and Greenwich. 

We sometimes have a waiting list for transport, but if people can provide their own transport they can obtain a place at the centre more quickly.

Other notes

Our Day Centre is aimed at elderly and elderly disabled people and we support people with a range of health issues including stroke, dementia, mental health, physical disability. Please note we are only able to support those who are independent with their personal care, eating and medication and who display no challenging behaviour.

Our Monday Evening Club is aimed at adults with learning disabilities who are comfortable in a group setting.
